  • The John M. Olin Fellowships and the Advancement of Conservatism in Legal Academia
    THE JOHN M. OLIN FELLOWSHIPS AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF CONSERVATISM IN LEGAL ACADEMIA “[I]t is merely a question of time until the views now held by the intellectuals become the governing force of politics.”1—F.A. Hayek INTRODUCTION In his 2008 book The Rise of the Conservative Legal Movement, Johns Hopkins Professor Steven M. Teles stated, “It is still too early to tell whether the [John M.] Olin Fellows2 program has been effective, and in any case it is very difficult to disentangle the impact of the program from the influence of a changed le- gal culture or greater willingness of law schools to consider hir- ing conservatives.”3 The fellowship program, which provides conservatives or moderates interested in entering the legal academy with a one to two year, fully-funded position at a law school,4 is a joint venture of sorts between the Federalist Society and the John M. Olin Foundation, an organization better known in law schools for its advancement of law and econom- ics programs. Since 1997, the John M. Olin Fellowship has sought to encourage and assist conservatives and libertarians in becoming law professors.5 In investigating the theory that a changed legal culture at least partially explained the John M. Olin Fellows’ placement success- es in the academy, Professor Teles looked to Harvard Law School and cited then-Dean Elena Kagan’s hiring of three con- servatives to the law school faculty—Professors John F.
